Whistler – Sledding!
28/01/2010

An epic day out today with a few of us taking out some sleds in the amazing winter wonderland of the Callaghan Valley. We were treated to deep  snow and clear skies, perfect for snowmobiles!

Check out the photos and a quick video of the day also.

Whistler – Freestyle and cliffs, video and photos
25/01/2010

Today was a purely freestyle and cliff drops focus!

We ripped up Blackcomb Terrain Garden in the morning, practising some skills for balance and warming up.

We then took it up into the higher mountain, working our way up from some smaller rocks and lips, into some bigger ones!

We had at least a couple of feet of snow, and falling along the way was half the fun.

Check out some video of the day!!!

Whistler – Avi Day
15/01/2010

Well its been an interesting couple of weeks of training. Annie has had us ripping around and exploring the mountain, shaking off the slightly stressful task of passing the Level 1 exams!

Today was an avalanche awareness course, and conditions were perfect for getting away from the lifts and into some deep snow.

We learnt how use avalanche tranceivers, and track down a signal under the snow. We checked out the layer of snow in a snow profile, and tested for weaker and stronger layers. All good skills to have for sure.

A hike up to the famous Flute Bowl gave us a chance to shred down a face of 60cm of fresh, untracked pow pow.
